Coaster Posted August 9, 2018 Report Share Posted August 9, 2018 Has Thorpe always had this many closed days scheduled for October? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshC. Posted August 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2018 For this year, yes. It has always been the case that every day in October was a FN day and it was Friday, Saturday, Sunday plus half term. Coaster 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was nice to see, let's hope they remain back, as earlier in season they were working and lasted less than a week! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattgwise Posted August 10, 2018 Report Share Posted August 10, 2018 Is there any official set ride availability over the evening sessions? Several evenings during the 10pm closes including today most flat rides have shut early, leaving just coasters, Detonator, Dodgems, Tidal, storm surge and flying fish open. Yet when I asked Thorpe Park they assured me all rides open till 10pm except I'm a celeb, living nightmare, zombie hunt, and old town rides closing at 6pm and Rumba at sunset. It seems to have been fairly inconsistent, as last Saturday most rides were open until the very end. I am guessing it is purely based on crowd levels?

nashertvoffical_yt Posted August 10, 2018 Report Share Posted August 10, 2018 I've noticed that Ghost train has closed between 8pm-9pm on days when it should be open 12pm-10pm,I've also noticed that I'm a celeb,Living nightmare and zombie hunt has closed at 6pm but this is due to actors contracts I think but no idea why ghost trains been closing early Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted August 10, 2018 Report Share Posted August 10, 2018 Based on crowd levels - it’s been totally dead the last couple days so it’s ended with just the coasters and a couple of flats open, on the busier nights pretty much everything has remained open till 10.

Marc Posted August 11, 2018 Report Share Posted August 11, 2018 Saw alive has its music playing and plenty of staff around, it’s also been added to the queue time list. Looks like it’s very close to opening (i would guess today as Living Nightmare is closed) edit: it’s now open Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt 236 Posted August 12, 2018 Report Share Posted August 12, 2018 Finally got round to visiting a Love Island late and apart from the very unfortunate power cut it was generally an enjoyable night. Managed several night rides on Swarm, Stealth and Saw There were a few breakdowns However they usually can’t be helped Operations were particularly good on Stealth and Swarm Tidal Wave was on three boats which was great to see The Love Island activaties seemed more popular than expected The Park was neither busy or quiet, but had a good balance between the two I personally think Thorpe has a better atmosphere during the evening/night but that might be me. I hope they continue more of these events in the future as evening/nights openings are definitely a good thing in U.K. parks, even if the majority of joe public arrive and leave between 10-6pm. Also got round to trying Sticky Sisters, nothing amazing really and quite expensive for what you get. The chips on the other hand are delicious!

Han30 Posted August 12, 2018 Report Share Posted August 12, 2018 Not done any lates yet but think I may be going Thursday with my niece - good to hear Saw Alive has opened as my niece @that.girl.soph has an unhealthy obsession with Billy ?

that.girl.soph Posted August 16, 2018 Report Share Posted August 16, 2018 Going to Thorpe Park today for the lates with my aunt @Han30 on national rollercoaster day! Extremely happy that saw alive has finally opened after being delayed - I’ve wanted to do it for a looong time. I’ve only done one maze so far which was living nightmare this year to see what it’s like. Fortunately, I loved it and I can’t wait to try the other mazes such as Big Top (another on my bucket list), platform 15 and, of course, saw alive! Maybe it’s my obsession with Billy? Maybe it’s my obsession with the ride? I don’t know but all I do know is that I want to do it so bad ?? Han30 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand The Thorpe chavs tend to just use the exit bridge as an area to change, however I don’t think there are allocated changing rooms unless you use the toilets. Don’t quote me on it though as I’m not 100% sure! ProudToServe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ringo Posted August 16, 2018 Report Share Posted August 16, 2018 And unfortunately you might find the toilet floor wetter than Tidal Wave ? Jack 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LK_ Posted August 17, 2018 Report Share Posted August 17, 2018 I always just walked back to the car and changed in the car every time I go on tidal, saves the hastle, and allows me to eat some food I always keep in a cooler in the car at lunch time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
